Ashish Kapoor Issues First Statement After Bail in Delhi Rape Case

His social media note follows a Delhi court bail order, with investigators still searching for any recording the complainant described.

Overview

  • The Tis Hazari court granted him bail on a Rs 1 lakh bond after noting material on record, including CCTV, and that he was not required for further investigation.
  • Kapoor said he feels relieved, thanked supporters, and affirmed faith in the legal system, writing that "truth will always prevail."
  • Police arrested him in Pune earlier this month over an allegation that he raped a woman during an August house party in Delhi.
  • Investigators say CCTV and witness accounts place Kapoor and the complainant together in a washroom for an extended period during the party.
  • Reporting says the complainant initially named multiple people before focusing her accusation on Kapoor, and no alleged video of the incident has been recovered.
